" 1 Journaled for rotation within each'hou'sing 9, is aratchet wheel 8 and projecting therev-v from outwardly.through the central opening in the housing 9, `is a stud l5,l the outer end of which terminates in a ring or loop. '.Adapted toengage the teeth ofratchet wheel 8 is a detent 14y that is carriedl by 'the rfreefend ofa spring and -Vwhichlatter is se-` f cured in 1 anysuitable manner, within the housing 9.' y Y f e Q Udcrnoinial-conditions this detent prev vents vratchet lwheel 8fron'i' rotating refl ons @neA of af Ahair waving stick `orshort i.

' rod 10, is provided with a shank that termisaid bands are brought together soj as to clamp the hair that projects between said bands. The bands are now detachably connected by engagingshooks 7 beneath Vthehead Vstuds 6 and the bandsfmay now be drawn into clamp-` ing .engagement .with the hair by tightening nuts l2.

After the sticksor rodsl() have been heated by'any convenient means, the ends of the projecting .strands ot hair are wrapped, around said rods or sticks and the latter may now be rotatedso as to wind the strands othair upon the sticks or rods and .during` such rotation the ratchet wheels 8 rotate within the housings 9 and said ratchetwheels andthe sticks or rods that are connected thereto are held against reverse rotation by the spring pressed detents 14..

Thus each strand-of hair may be tightly wound upon a stick or rod and after this windingand Wrapping operation has been effected the hair carrying sticker rod may be shifted into a vertically or horizontal position as desired and retained in such position by manipulating the rods or sticks so that the shanks ot the loops on the. inner ends thereof engage in the slots 9 that radiate Jfrom the` central opening in housing 9.

Thus the hair wrapped on the sticks or rods is retained'in the desired position Auntil said hair has become dry and set.

.To Vdisengage the apparatus from the hair, the detents 14 are disengaged from the ratchet Wheels 8 to permit the rods or sticks to be reverselyrotated so as to be disengaged from thewindings of hair and the nuts 12 are unscrewed to such a degree as to permit hooks 7 to. be disengaged from studs Gand the vap-y paratus may now' be removedtromV the head.

In Figs. 9 and -10 I have shown a modili'ed construction vwherein. both ends of a hairreceivingstickl or rod are. flexibly connected to the loopsl on the ratchet wheels 8 and such construction-isemployed.where it is desired to produce what is known as a croquinole effect in hairdressing.

Thus it will beseen that lI have provided a permanent waving pad and stick apparatus that is relatively simple in construction, inexpensive otmanufactureand very effective in-performing. the functions for which it is intended It i will be understood that. minor changes in the size, form and construction of the various parts of my improved permanent waving pad and stick ,apparatus may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of my invention, the scope of which is set forth in the appended claims.
